Blues vs. Jets Game 5 Betting Prediction
Connor Hellebuyck is f*cked. The dude becomes total head case in the playoffs, as evidence of his breakdown in Games 3 and 4. The dude was pulled in Game 4, went to the locker room, changed into his suit and never went back to the bench to support his teammates. Then he spoke to the media the day after and felt it necessary to tell everyone how much he studies goaltending.
Great regular season goaltender, but the dude is hard to hit in the playoffs. Jordan Binnington? Dude is stud postseason goalie. I’ll take him.
Blues vs. Jets Game 5 Prediction: ST. LOUIS BLUES +149
